PATENT OFFIC JOHN SPEYER, OF CASCADE, MICHIGAN.

WRENCH.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 749,237, dated January12, 1904. I

Application filed December 27, 1902. Serial No. 136,793. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN SPEYER, a citizen of the Netherlands, residingat Cascade, in the county of Kent, State of Michigan, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Wrenches; and I do hereby declarethe following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to combination-tools; and it has for its objectto provide a combined monkey-wrench and oil-can in which there will be ahandle common to both the can and wrench and in which there will be nodanger of discharge of oil from the can during the operation of thewrench.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will be understood fromthe following description.

In the drawings forming a portion of this specification, and in whichlike numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views,Figure 1 is an elevation showing a tool embodying the present invention.Fig. 2is a section taken longitudinally through the tool.

Referring now to the drawings, the present wrench comprises what may betermed the stem 5, having a jaw 6 at one end projecting laterally beyondthe stem.

Mounted slidably upon the stem 5, below the jaw 6, is a sliding jaw 7,,and upon the stem below the sliding jaw are the laterally-projecting andvertically-spaced lugs 8 and 9. The upper lug 8 is perforated to receivethe adjusting-screw 10, which latter engages threads in the longitudinalrecess 11 of the sliding jaw, the lower end of the screw being engagedin the seat 12 in the upper face of the lower lug 9. Upon the screw 10is fixed the thumbnut 18, adapted for rotation with the screw to operatethe latter to shift the sliding jaw.

This portion of the wrench is of common construction.

In the lower end of the stem 5 of the wrench is a longitudinal recess14:, in the lower end of which are the threads 15, and at the upper endof the recess is the axial pin 16, said pin passing through the washer17, disposed against theinner end of the recess. 7

The handle 18 of the wrench is hollow and forms the body of an oil-can,this handle being cylindrical and of metal of suflicient stifliness toprevent compression thereof, excepting its lower end, which latter is ofcomparatively thin metal and is convex, so that it may be pressedinwardly of the body of the can to expel oil from the nozzle 19 of thecan.

The nozzle end of the body of the can is exteriorly threaded, as shown,so that it may be screwed into the recess in the lower end of the stemof the wrench, the spout of the can being of such length that when thebody is engaged with the recess the tip of the spout will lie againstthe washer 17 while the spout will receive in its bore the pin 16. Thepin and washer jointly prevent leakage of oil from the can, and shouldthere be under some conditions a slight leakage the oil will be held inthe recess 14 by reason of the washer 20, disposed upon the radialflange 21 of the body of the can.

By reason of the rigidity of the wall of the body of the can it willwithstand any pressure to which it may be subjected in the operation ofthe wrench, at which time pressure is not applied to the'bottom of thecan, and to protect the bottom against accidental pressure in thedropping of the wrench it may have a base-flange 22, extending below theconvex bottom, as illustrated.

It will be understood that in practice modifications of the specificconstruction shown may be made and that any suitable materials andproportions may be used for the various parts without departing from thespirit of the invention.

What is claimed is- A wrench having a stem formed of two parts, one parthaving a recess provided with threads, a washer disposed against theinner end of the recess, and a pin secured to and extending from theinner end of the recess and passing through In testimony whereof I afliXmy .signature the washer, the second part being hollow, in presence oftwo witnesses. threaded at one end and engaged with the threads of therecess removably, and a spout 5 at the threaded end of the handleadapted to Witnesses:

lie within the recess of the stem and to receive LOUE PATTERSON, the pinof the first-mentioned part. JOHN M. STEKEIEE.
